However Gnus still insisted on looking for new articles on this server, so I went through several cycles of killing all zombie groups and then killing all groups on misc. levels until I finally was rid of all groups on the foreign server. I'm now in the process of removing all groups on news.vmware.com, and I'm wondering if Groups->Foreign groups->Delete group or G DEL on a group in pgnus v0.84, will eradicate the group or move it to a different level? And if so: what level? And if so: does that level have a bigger numerical value than the limit for zombie groups? Thanx! - Steinar
